Senior Sales Engineer EMEA

Senior Sales Engineer EMEA WHO WE ARE Atlan is building the missing context layer for data and AI, helping enterprises close the AI value chasm. Today, 95% of AI pilots fail because AI systems don’t understand the context behind data: what it means, how it’s governed, and how it should be used. Atlan connects to every part of the modern data and AI stack to unify this context into a single, shared layer that both humans and AI agents can rely on. With Atlan, teams can discover, understand, and trust their data; build and collaborate on a shared body of knowledge; and activate that context across analytics, operations, and AI workflows.Trusted by global enterprises like Mastercard, Workday, General Motors, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, FOX, Nasdaq, and Medtronic, we’re backed by world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures WHY IS THIS ROLE IMPORTANT FOR US?
